NMP for universities

The NMP e-learning resource was developed by combining the expertise of 5 universities including: University of Bolton, University of Central Lancashire, University of Chester, University of Cumbria and University of Salford.

It was commissioned by Health Education England to improve consistency and raise the standard of NMP teaching. Universities from all over the UK are now accessing this resource which is maintained by the Health and Education Co-operative.

How do Universities use the NMP e-resource?

The course is used as part of a blended learning NMP qualification, where up to 60% of the course is completed on-line. With the remainder of teaching taking place in the university in line with their own timetabling requirements.

Most universities run two 6 month cohorts in a year.
